Simulating Composite Structures
Composites provide new solutions for manufacturers looking for stronger, lighter and more cost-effective materials. At the same time, they pose new modeling and manufacturing challenges because of the nature of the materials. Ansys Composites PrepPost (ACP) in Ansys Mechanical is the right simulation tool: designers can account for residual stresses, predict performance, analyze reliability and potential failures, optimize construction, and export accurate information to manufacturing, all before a physical prototype is built.
